Last I heard the rain ruined the edges, might want to take a plank.

When fish it this weekend I'd say 5 to 6 in of ice fishin was ok I got my buddies got 2 nothin to brag about but the fish I did get where some line strippers missed a bunch of bits because they where so light amd didn't last long at all but still a fun day for the first ice of the year I went out last year and didn't catch one fish while I was out so it felt good to go out and finally do it

My father in law was telling me that there's a parasite infestation at Chesterfield. Can anyone speak to this? Is it anything new or anything to worry about?

The parasites have been in the reservoir for years. It is also in Deep creek as well. Others will chime in, but as long as the fish are cooked there is no transmition to humans.

I Hit Chesterfield on Saturday. Fishing was Ok, but it was alarming to see the smaller size of fish that were on the bite. Average was between 10"-14" max. The water is super low and that might be part of the reason. Good day to be on the ice either way though.
